Research

The focus of our laboratory is to carry out research at the crossroad of pharmacology, biology and medicine to develop novel platforms for understanding biological pathways and finding treatments for human diseases. Our long-term goals are to improve therapies for diseases associated with multi drug resistance (MDR), develop physiologic and mechanism-based disease models, utilize systems pharmacology as a tool to delineate causal pathways to adverse events and facilitate the identification of biomarkers associated with pain and oncology.
